Look into your heart. Your wedding should be about you and not what your parents, best friend or anyone else thinks it should be. You need to feel that your wedding is a perfect expression of you and a true celebration of your love for each other. @AstrologyZone

WHICH HAIRSTYLE IS THE BEST OPTION FOR BRIDES?
WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THIS SHOOT?
Any hairstyle that lets the bride feel like the best version of herself. It’s a long, important day with a lot going on, so you need to feel comfortable and at ease. Prewedding hair trials are a great way to help you gauge whether a style really suits you, photographs well and will last the whole day. @HairbyEloise
To create a dreamy look using natural light and a shallow depth of field. This technique produces soft, painterly backgrounds so our beautiful model really stands out. Shooting at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden at this time of year was perfect.

IN A NUTSHELL, WHAT DO YOU DO AT THE KNOT? As photo director, I conceive and produce photo shoots, from covers to fashion features, and oversee all photography that appears in the magazine. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is being on set at a shoot and seeing everything come together from start to finish!
